Liz Earle Eyebright™ Soothing Eye Lotion
Approx price: £10.25
Worked quite well as an eye make up remover, I didn't have any problems taking anything off.
Can also be used as a soothing eye mask, if you coat a cotton wool pad the rest it on the eyes 5-10 mins. This is the part I was most excited about trying, but it didn't seem to have any actual benefit when I used it. I have heard it most effective if you put the bottle in the fridge before using it as an eye mask.
Nice smell and nice natural ingredients, but unfortunately the bottle seemed to run out very quickly... maybe due to the fact I felt I had to completely soak each cotton pad to get the best out of it?
I am not beauty trained, and have never worked in the industry. I am a real woman with an office job, and a busy lifestyle! I have no idea how to apply make up professionally, I just play around and wear what I think works well. I spend too much money on cosmetics, and after boring my partner with commentary on everything I buy I have now taken my thoughts to the internet! The comments within are entirely my own personal opinions and experiences of the products I have purchased.

Denman Shower Brush
Denman Shower Brush
Approx price: £3.69
This is basically a round piece of plastic with prongs that fits onto your hand and is used in the shower to apply shampoo evenly, or evenly applies products while styling.
I was very excited about this and thought I would get a great massage out of it, but had a few problems. I wasn't quite sure how it worked, so while the top of my head had foamy shampoo on it, the lengths were just left hanging. I didn't feel massaged at all, it felt a lot smaller once I actually had it on my head. I also had a really sore arm after just a couple of minutes.
Bit of a disappointment for me, so I may pass it on to my boyfriend to try when applying wax.
